The highly-anticipated title is only slated for launch on April 16, 2020, however, which means there’s still some time before fans can interact with him in-game. Here’s where a clever Metal Gear Solid V mod comes into play – courtesy of modder JinMar, players are able to play as one of the super J duo (yes, that’s what we’re calling them now) in Kojima’s masterpiece.

It’s a great tribute to a beloved icon, especially since Reeves’ features have been modelled to great perfection, from the long, slightly shaggy haircut of Johnny Silverhand to John Wick’s neatly-trimmed facial hair.

Unfortunately, the mod does not include any of the actor’s iconic voice lines, so there’ll be no “you’re breathtaking!” or “Wake the f– up, we have a city to burn”. Still, this is really one nifty mod that can be downloaded over at Nexus mod, with extremely simple instructions to boot: just switch between the Hair 1 and 2 presets to play as John Wick and Johnny Silverhand respectively. Easy.
